Ascend Charlie - I challenge any pilot to stop some goose from getting out, especially from the left rear door, while the engine is running on the ground. No way they could charge the pilot for somebody else's stupidity.
My dad flew for Gulf Helicopters between 78 and 93. During that time he was on a job in Oman, flying geologists with a B206 up in the mountains. Despite comprehensive safety briefings, one of his passengers did the same thing, and was killed instantly. Dad was arrested and kept under house (hotel) arrest for about a month. The case went to court, but after some deliberation, he was found not to have been to blame and was released.
